Pakistan needs to ban Twitter

[GriffinsRule]

What would it take for Pakistan to ban/block Twitter from Pakistan. It is acting as a tool for Indian subjugation now.

I have never used it myself but I would ask everyone here to stop using it as well as a form of protest

I agree fully. Twitter needs to be banned ASAP in Pakistan.

 

[Genghis khan1]

Someone needs to create Twitter Kashmir or Twitter un-ban. Every time Twitter ban or remove something, automatically publish it on Twitter un-ban.

 

[vi-va]

create your own twitter company or use weibo.com. China government will for sure give Pakistan control over weibo.pk. That will give Pakistan government the fair play ground on info war.

Otherwise, the Yankees control/huge influence what Pakistanis see on the internet or think. Look at HK rioters, those raise UK/US flags in the rally are traitors, and a pro-western society will have puppet regime installed inevitably.

Just look at HK, what western media reported and what's the reality on the ground, huge contrast.

Look at Gaza/Palestine issue, is it unbiased covered?

Look at what India is doing in IOK, how much media coverage over IOK curfew? Little, and why?

There is no free media, just like there is no free market, it's illusion. Monopoly is the best business on earth.

You like or dislike China media control to some extent, but China don't want herself be puppet, don't want her youngsters brain washed by western media and anti-China. Anyone who want to access twitter/facebook/youtube can spent dozens of dollars to get VPN for a whole year. There are VPN advertisement all over China internet.

Think about Soviet dissolution, think about what if all China cities become HK.

Nothing comes free, have a prospers and strong China/Pakistan or give in. Choice is clear.

Banning is not solution. We have to face challenges upfront. We need to fight not run away.

Pakistan needs to ban artillery shells because Indians are using it.

That is how dumb you sound.


For the love of God don't be another China.

The solution to Indians on Twitter is to have Pakistanis on Twitter battling them.
Running away like cowards and banning things is not going to do anything.

You didnt understand the issue I think. Its not Indians on Twitter but Twitter itself that is banning pro-Kashmir, anti-Indian accounts. So banning or bycotting is definitely a solution. If they are okay with losing with Pakistani market, then so be it. We need to have our own platform for news dissemination.

I see what you are saying.

In that case we need our government to talk to Twitter and threaten them as well.

But remember, 5th generation war is all about information and optics.

China can't change world opinions because it bans all Western platforms.

Pakistan needs to be a part of the world community

 

[Yankee-stani]

Lets make a compromise that ban hammer folks and folks who want twitter to stay on Pakistani cyberspace if the Government is serious we could do what the Russians did a couple years ago by threatening them if they dont comply with our laws or what we see as our "values" not conformed you gonna be banned from our cyberspace with that force them to open a local office with local staff I mean thats the best solution also seriously we need our own social media platforms I like the idea actually

Western tools in the hands of the west (and its allies). What are we to complain. Has Paksitan built a tool that is alternate to twitter? China has, and they could ban twitter and they did ban it.

Denying a facility without providing an alternative is usually futile. Let's create awaz.pk (a suggestion) as an alternative to twitter and then make it free and credible enough so that Pakistanis could trust it to voice themselves - but even if you successfully do that - you will lose something which is following;

Twitter is being used by the world where India does and can do propaganda against Paksitan. If you remove yourself from the game, India is still there playing it against you. Western countries will not be coming to use awaz.pk. It's like you have put a tape on your mouth, and has left your enemy to continue to talk. In this information-war, this strategy will harm you a lot.

So what is the solution?

You must play using the same rules as the world is using and India is using. India has its influence on twitter... why don't you build yours on it? How do you do it... is a good question to think about.

China not only have alternative of Twitter, but also facebook long before facebook was born, China has many streaming companies, which has hundreds of millions of video uploaded by Chinese and whom I don't know. China has many other internet apps which is far better and stronger than western ones.

Such as https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tencent.mm&hl=en_US 微信 which has 900 millions active users, the biggest communication app in the world, while line only 170 millions

e purchase https://www.taobao.com https://www.tmall.com https://corporate.jd.com/home which are bigger than Amazon

https://best.aliexpress.com/?lan=en for international users

Global trade https://www.alibaba.com which is the biggest in the world, much bigger than the rest of the world combined

streaming, https://www.bilibili.com and many many others


Alipay.com which is the biggest e payment of the world

Despite everything, our presence on twitter gives us a space to interact and deliver our msgs to international audience. I have seen many Pakistanis reaching out to people in other countries telling our side of the story. We will lose this opportunity if we ban the twitter or any other social platform.

 

[Wow]

Banning is not solution. We have to face challenges upfront. We need to fight not run away.

that and create our own tech sphere

 

[vi-va]

that and create our own tech sphere

exactly, with twitter, facebook and google in the domestic market, there is no way Pakistan internet users will use Pakistan internet alternative services which mean they are killing those small/mediam companies.

India on the other hand boast their high tech on IT industry, while the domestic market was dominated by twitter, faceboo and google and many other US companies, India has no internet company which is relevant in the world.

They can close or lower your influence because there is nothing you can fight back unless you have alternative which you can threaten Twitter company.

Make a law, and hire company to do survey, if twitter unfair and bias, lower twitter internet connection or make it unstable as a punishment. If twitter do not follow Pakistan law, ban the twitter advertisement on Pakistan market.

The revenue and margin from Pakistan market is the leverage you can make twitter play by the rule, your rule, Not Yankees' rule.

Without the law, the enforcement, the alternetive, Yankees don't give a fck what Pakistanis like or dislike.

The curfew in IOK, the internet community has little coverage. It's all controlled.

If you give in the war of Info, you lose IOK.

I am not sure where you get your information from. But there are 2 things I know for sure it is not true.

China did not have "Chinese version of Facebook" before Facebook was born. Facebook as a company was founded in 2004, it would be even earlier if you are referring to facemash, which is the precursor of Facebook, in 2003. The Chinese equivalent of Facebook is RenRen, which formed in 2005. Also, you would not call it "Chinese Version of Facebook" if that predate Facebook. You would call Facebook "The American Version of Renren"

Alipay is the world largest Mobile Payment platform, not the world largest epayment. The world largest epayment is wire transfer or TT (Which is a form of Electronic Payment). Which have 9 trillions USD transaction a day. Nothing even come close to beating that...

Actually 3 things.
WEchat is not the world biggest communication apps in the world. data suggest WeChat have 1120 millions (1.12 billions) active user, Facebook Messenger have 1300 millions. And WhatsApp at 1600 millions
